<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px"><div>A perfect fit for Bill. Full support. Much thanks to Brenden, although I must admit it will be much nicer to speak to you now that you no longer have to operate under the cloak of secrecy! On a personal note, thanks for whatever role you had in appointing Carlos to the Council. It's been a distinct pleasure to serve with him. Superb selection. Thanks.</div>
